Just wondering whether this will be possible because holding down the menu button to multitask seems a bit primitive.. if it is possible I could be tempted to upgrade or at least try out the S3
Thanks
I personally like it on the home button but yes, it can definitely be implemented on the menu key in a future ROM.

Don't see why not, the task switcher key on the HOX was made as the menu key in some ROMs, so I don't see why it couldn't be reversed on the SGS3.. however I don't see why you'd want to either way.
WOuld be a very nice future if it can be remapped, but it has already been asked many times for sgs2 and for other mobiles but no one was successful in it . we can remap the keys via editing the file simply, but for long press there is no details in that file.
At least on HOX custom ROMs they replaced the recent apps key back to menu
The menu key is one reason to buy the S3 for me though.

True that.
I'm using the latest Omega v7.0.
Is there any possibility to remapp the menu button with the multitasking function? It's always a pain holding the homebutton down for many seconds and waiting until the multitasking interface will show up.
As the HTC One series I'd like to get some sort of menu buttons displayed on the screen if necerary.
C'mon guys anyone?
I wish someone can develop on this too... This is possibly the worst experience I have with my S3, the lack of multitask button.

The latest CM10 offers a feature to change the buttons functions, exactly what I've looked for. The thread my be closed now
Nova launcher has a feature that lets you remap the long-press of the menu button to do among a number of things, one of which is bringing up the multi-task menu. Anyone know how to make this happen without using this launcher. I've tried editing the file in key_layout but it didn't do anything.
Same type of issue here. (first time post / newb by the way). I'm looking to use a long press of the Back key to act as an alternate home key (but would accept long press of menu key as well). I've tried Nova Launcher, and it can be configured for a long-press of the menu key to go to the "default" screen, which is kind of like having a home key, but it doesn't work unless you are on the 1st level screens (for example it doesn't work if you are using an application, this it is not truly a home key). I've never rooted before and am worried about trying it on my brand new S3 and what it means to warranty. Thus was hoping to find a way to get what I want without rooting, but something tells me I won't be able to. Also, I really didn't want to change to a special launcher like Nova yet, I just want a capacitive home key option. I don't like physical click keys plus my home key is harder to reach now with the case that I have. Not sure what to do next. Willing to consider rooting if it the process can be made fairly idiot proof. BTW I'm on Sprint which is not the exact phone as yours.

Rooting is fairly idiot proof on the International SGS3 but you may well have major problems if you are in the wrong forum and flash the wrong firmware for a different model phone like the USA models .

Thanks, appreciate that. I figured as much, but thought the ideas would be similar
Actually what I think would be a more ideal button arrangement for me would be as follows (since my goal is to have a capacitive home key)
1) short-press Menu button would function exactly the same as the physical Home button
2) long-press Menu button would function as the Menu
3) short-press Back would function as Back
4) long-press Back button would bring up a Search screen (kind of like long-press Menu does presently)
I for one am glad that Samsung kept some buttons (like the menu button), instead of going to the true 100% ICS experience.
Maybe I'll switch completely over to the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum in order to avoid any confusion.
cm10 has implemented the button remap feature. now you can easily change the menu button long press to recent apps in cm10

Hey,
I currently use I9001XXKQ1_I9001XXKPI_I9001DBTKP1_HOME firmware for my SGS+ and I was wondering if I couls somehow either
add Screenshot to the Power-Menu like in ICS and JB
remap the screenshot
currently it is done by pressing the back-softkey and the homebutton. unfortunately the app reacts to them so I go back or exit the app.
Maybe it would be possible to map the action to volume down and power or so.
Best thing would still be in the Power-Menu since that effects no apps and is guaranteed to work.
Hi,
A while back I bought a neat little toy from Singapore. It's a dual core 2,5 inch Android phone.
There's just one thing that bothers me. The "alt+tab" physical button actually acts as the menu button.
I've looked around a bit and been trying to figure something out but so far I'm stuck.
The phone is ready rooted and is up to date on that front, I just need some help editing one of the files in /system/media/keylayout, I think.
Here's a picture if there's any doubt on which button I mean. It's the button to the left: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uo8er3nb5reocm/IMG_20150711_175617.jpg?dl=0
If I do succeed in changing the action on this button will the apps automaticly add the onscreen menu button? Or is there a way to make long-press the now remapped button to have another action so I don't lose the ability to get menu dropdowns?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
No one?
